Re: Trader Joe's opening in northern Idaho
For a company that seems to be expanding at a quicker rate lately, they sure do seem to have a problem with noticeably increased product recalls (as reported all over). Not that this is connected but just sayin............................. 🤷♂️ And out of stocks... I have reduced how often I shop t...

Chickfila to END "no antibiotics ever" chicken
Yes, the subject line is correct. This chain made a pledge to sell chicken with "no antibiotics ever" in 2014. It is now ending that pledge. The new pledge is something about no antibiotics important to human medicine. Whatever that means. And whoever concludes what constitutes "impor...

Re: Sears & Kmart 2024: Will someone please put them out of their misery?
They are now trying to carve 12k square feet out of that NY Kmart that is still open and sublease it. The way the shopping center is laid out this makes a lot of sense. https://transformcoproperties.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Bridgehampton-Commons-2044-Montauk-Hwy-Bridgehampton-V2.pdf This seems...

Re: Sears & Kmart 2024: Will someone please put them out of their misery?
Sears is installing new cash registers at the store in Whittier. Completely new hardware and software. I'm sure it is some vendor system but it is interesting they'd bother to do this. Given how well the current system works with liquidation sales I fail to see what the point is of installing a new ...

Trader Joe's to add Roseville Store
Interesting location. Nugget is across the street, WinCo nearby. Amazon Fresh that never opened nearby, Sprouts out of business nearby... https://www.bizjournals.com/sacramento/news/2024/03/22/trader-joes-files-plans-fairway-commons-roseville.html A number of vacant spaces around this general area.....

Re: Subway Switches To Pepsi For 10 Years From Coke
Some restaurant chains claim that the margin on fountain soda is thin. So they claim signing an exclusive contract is the only way to keep soda fountains profitable. You see restaurants restricting refills or charging for refills. Are margins that thin or are they claiming so to make more of a prof...

Re: Oxnard's only Ralphs closing May 2024
I am not sure of that. Ralphs still has 184 stores. I think they may still be the top banner. The fact that we are even having this discussion validates your point as to the complete mismanagement of Ralphs that has occurred... while other regions of Kroger have done very well and hardly close any ...

Re: San Francisco Centre Renamed To Emporium Centre
When you hear San Francisco Centre you immediately think homeless, crime, robberies, drug addicts, etc. They probably just wanted to get the San Francisco name off of the building. Some companies just might want to open up in the shopping center if it has no connection to the tarnished San Francisc...

Re: Dollar Tree To Raise Prices To $7
I wish Dollarama was in the US. Great stores. Always had a blast shopping them in Quebec. If Dollar Tree allocated more payroll dollars to its stores and just slightly ramped up its buying operation (which I have seen mix improvements at 1.25, they really have added some items that weren't there be...

Re: Trader Joe's opening in northern Idaho
Eastern Idaho will probably never get their dream store due to logistics for trucking, they have no stores in Montana, Wyoming, or the Dakotas too. A store is opening in a (still operational for now it seems) furniture store, which was at one point a "discount store," according to county ...
